It shows that in the context of neoliberal urban restructuring, weakly consolidated democracy, and corporate capture of the local state, urban activists often resort to entering electoral competition as the only efficient way of improving the situation in their cities. The book is based on four case studies from different Czech cities, narrating stories of activists struggling against a controversial flood protection project, the demolition of public buildings,an unhealthy land-use plan, arrogant development, and overpriced city halls. It offers valuable insight into the obstacles created by institutionalized forms of power abuse which urban activists must deal with and discusses the pro-democratic potential of urban grassroot movements’ efforts to overcome their limited ability to influence political processes via st | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | 关键词 | Central Europe; Post Socialism; Social Movements; Urban Restructuring; Anthropology; Urban Studies; Critic | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-32-9709-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-981-32-9711-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-981-32-9709-8 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapor |
